Scout Joining

The first rank of Boy Scouting can be earned as soon as a boy joins a troop, especially if he has earned his Arrow of Light as a Webelos scout. This first recognition is earned by applying and memorizing some important scouting basics.

Some troops have Webelos scouts bridge over from the pack to the troop in February at their Cub Scout pack Blue and Gold dinner and then have a court of honor in March or April where they are presented with their Scout rank badge. It is certainly not necessary to wait for a court of honor to present the badge, though. A short, meaningful presentation at the earliest opportunity is best - see a sample New Scout ceremony.

Scout Rank Requirements: All requirements for the Scout rank must be completed as a member of a troop. If the scout has already completed these requirements as part of the Webelos Scouting Adventure, he needs to demonstrate knowledge or skills to his Scoutmaster or other designated leader after joining the troop.
